How did we end up living in a country that is now synonymous with torture?How did we end up with a secretive and power-hungry president who thinks he is above the law?When did "The Land of the Free" start meaning "freedom for the government to spy on you, and you can't do a thing about it"?Liberty has become tenuous and precious, right here in what we are now supposedly calling "The Homeland."Defend your rights.Be mad.Eat.

You really represent "the home of the brave". Thanks for reminding us of why and how this holiday started. It's difficult to hold to patriotisn when we feel disenfranchised, but I will join you: I'll eat, and lift a glass, and still be mad.

Haven't humans been doing such things to themselves since the beginning of time? Haven't governments/regimes been slaughtering not only opposing religions, beliefs and races, but their own people for centuries?

Who She?

I live a couple of miles from the Marin County Civic Center Farmers' Market, which feeds my little blogging hobby. Hell, it feeds me, too.
Formerly employed, I'm now a bum. Happy bum. Tomato ranchin' bum.
But I'm still mad.
